Greatest 'Say What?' moments

Rafy / Warner Bros.

By Patrick Kevin Day, Brill Bundy and Andy Greiser We can't tell you exactly what part of "Orphan" made us slap our forehead in disbelief and mutter, "Say what?" -- that would spoil the movie for you if you haven't seen it. But trust us when we say this is the kind of film that the phrase "Say what?" was invented for. And it's not the first. There are movies where surprise is a pleasing virtue, such as early Shyamalan, and films where surprise is like waking to find your bed smeared with birthday cake and a church choir sitting in your living room. You didn't expect it, sure, but huh? The films in this gallery are of the latter variety and you should be warned that spoilers abound.

The moment: This movie is just a string of "What? Seriously?" moments from Terrence Howard and Jessica Alba's duplicity to Lena Olin's overdose so she can save her son ( Hayden Christensen), but not before having a nice little conversation with him in limbo and giving him closure about his dead father's memory. The biggest "What?" of them all though is how those four got suckered into being in "Awake" in the first place.
